Dashboard and Internal Tools

This guide covers the main admin tools used after sign-in. These tools include:
  • Dashboard
  • AI Chat
  • Feature Requests
  • Support
  • Push Notifications
  • Profile

Before You Start

  • Sign in to your admin account.
  • Open Church Management in the left sidebar to find Dashboard, AI Chat, and Notifications.
  • Profile, Feature Requests, and Support are in the profile menu at the top right.
  • Some tools only appear if your account has permission to use them.

Dashboard

The dashboard is the first page after sign-in. It opens with the people side of church life: who is new, who needs a call today, who is being cared for, and how giving is going. Church setup and content statistics sit further down the page. Main church administrators also see a compact Put your first church workflow to work reminder. It shows their saved progress and a direct link to the next unfinished task. Expand Setup steps to review church identity, the first member, and a published public form, the first completed public response, and a saved follow-up owner and due date or Completed status. Completed steps remain available without taking over the dashboard. See Client onboarding.

The Four Tiles

Today’s Priorities

Start with Today’s priorities, above the four tiles. Follow-ups and attention alerts appear together here. When neither needs action, a single You’re all caught up message replaces the empty lists. If information cannot be loaded, use Try again; an unavailable list is not treated as an empty one.
  • Follow-ups due today lists each open follow-up with the person’s name, the task, and who owns it. Overdue items say how long they have been overdue. Click Open to handle one: a visitor follow-up opens the inbox, a member follow-up opens the member’s profile. All visitors opens the inbox.
  • Needs attention is the same list the header bell shows: overdue follow-ups, care cases without an owner, urgent care, profile changes to review, and new form responses. See Search and the Attention Bell.
Expand Recent activity and giving trends below the tiles to see:
  • Recent activity, a feed of the latest connect cards, gifts, form responses, care requests, and group joins across the church.
  • Giving, last 12 weeks, which charts completed gifts by week and shows the change against the week before.

Church Setup and Content

Expand Church setup and content to find:
  • the church information card and branch count,
  • the mobile app subscribe QR code with Download QR Code and Copy Link,

Notes
